the well-tended candle
on a windowsill
in a blinding storm
the little white ball
that rims the cup
and refuses to drop in
the strong hand
reaching grasping yours
pulling you to safety
the upstairs neighbor
who runs 14 miles a day
indoors
the woodpecker
braving bitter cold
showing off his red touque
the painted billboard
on an old brick building
barely legible
the stamped postcard
discovered
in a yellowing used book
the hours spent
in company with those
who are no longer
